Okay. But then what do "dewdrops" have to do with it? "Rosi," you mean, our brothers. You probably meant to say that fewer Rossi means worse Rossi.
What? Comrade, we are both Rossi to the same extent!NikBond
Zaporozhye, which you mentioned as "Ukraine before the totalitarian regime," is the territory of the "Wild Field," where people fled in search of freedom from the Poles. Sloboda Ukraine, part of which you mentioned as a "gift from the tsars," and part as a "gift from Lenin," was also a sparsely populated area for many years after the Mongols. Ukrainians, in search of new lands, together with several Zaporozhian elders and atamans, went to develop practically deserted lands. The Tsar, hoping to protect himself from the Tatars, granted some freedoms to the local population, but then treacherously took them away. I know, I live in this territory. Polissya, that is, the "gift from the tsars," and Podolia, which, surprisingly, is not marked, were conquered by Khmelnytsky. Transcarpathia, Volhynia, Galicia...
According to you, who are Ukrainians? Rossi living on the outskirts.NikBond

The Cossacks were a privileged military class. They were granted almost all possible rights, and their only obligation was to provide military force if necessary. But only if necessary.NikBond
I'm very sorry that I don't know much about the history of the early 20th century. Because there isn't enough information on Wikipedia, and it hasn't been covered in school yet. But you, comrade Muscovite, have probably heard about the unification of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic in 1917? Besides, these territories have always been ours. Do you remember the Galicia-Volhynia Principality?
In that year, all sorts of nonsense was happening throughout the Empire! The Germans were having a field day in our shared lands in one place, the French and the British in another, and everyone who could was trying to become independent under the cover of the chaos (not because it was necessary, but because every informal leader wanted to rule over whatever was left of Russia, and they were agitating others to do the same). And the Galicia-Volhynia Principality was born in a feudal fragmentation, and all sorts of things were born there. Everything became united later.
